Hi I’ve worked every support staff position and just wanna say that without the opportunity to advance, there is no reason for someone to take any of those jobs.
There is. No. Reason.

The “prominent showrunner”
The WGA proposed that TV shows should hire a minimum of six to 12 writers, but some writers disagree.
“Nobody asked for this,” said one prominent showrunner. “Every showrunner I know is against this. It doesn’t make sense to anybody.”

Support staff jobs are often high stress, low paying, & extremely hard to get. Ppl take them because they’re passionate about writing and want to be seen as such. If your team doesn’t see you that way, it makes more sense to get a lower stress, higher paying job elsewhere.

I guess my question for the AMPTP is: have you missed funerals for work? Weddings? Get paid minimum wage despite years of experience? Develop ulcers? Has your eyesight gotten worse? Your back? And if the answer is yes, why on earth would you want that to continue?

All I want for Christmas is for people to realize how much WAs and SCs are working and consider them for staffing 🫠🫠🫠
In my 10 years in LA, I've worked on 20 seasons of TV, over 200 eps total. Spent 12 seasons in writers' rooms, observing & helping break &/or coordinating ~100 eps, & co-writing one of my own. The assistant track is broken but look how much experience I'd bring as a staff writer!

The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic—their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face, but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a non-existent nose.

I grew up evacuating from hurricanes so here’s some advice:
You’ll need to throw a hurricane party. Get a 10 gallon cooler NOW for jungle juice. No, the types of liquor don’t matter. Bring flashlights in case the power goes out so you can rave. Only outfit must are rain boots.
